Autocatalytic reactions of phase distributed active particles
We investigate the effect of asynchronism of autocatalytic reactions taking place in open hydrodynamical flows, by assigning a phase to each particle in the system to differentiate the timing of the r...

Chaotic mixing induced transitions in reaction–diffusion systems
We study the evolution of a localized perturbation in a chemical system with multiple homogeneous steady states, in the presence of stirring by a fluid flow. Two distinct regimes are found as the rate...

Motivated by the problem of ozone production in atmospheres of urban areas, we consider chemical reactions of the general type: A+B-->2C, in idealized two-dimensional nonlinear flows that can generate Lagrangian chaos. Our aims differ from those in the existing work in that we address the role of transient chaos versus sustained chaos and, more importantly, we investigate the influence of noise. We find that noise can significantly enhance the chemical reaction in a resonancelike manner where the product of the reaction becomes maximum at some optimal noise level. We also argue that chaos may not be a necessary condition for the observed resonances. A physical theory is formulated to understand the resonant behavior. ©2002 American Institute of Physics.

  36. The quantity betaT is in fact equivalent to betaS, which can be seen as follows. A physical process can be described either in the time domain: f(t), or in the frequency domain by its Fourier transform F(omega). When f(t) is approximately periodic, its Fourier spectrum exhibits a peak at omegap=1/<T> with width Deltaomega. Since T~1/omega, we have <T>+DeltaT~1/(omegap+Deltaomega)[approximate]1/omegap−Deltaomega/omega<sub>p</sub><sup>2</sup>. Thus, DeltaT~Deltaomega/omega<sub>p</sub><sup>2</sup> and, hence, betaT=<T>/DeltaT~omegap/Deltaomega~betaS.
